At all times when subject s yerf ^fc elsg h ypnotized a CD represen 
tative (Dr. Gottlieb or Major ■was present. Eis presence „ 

served a double purpose of reaSsurence to the subject and observa-- 
tton of techntoue for p ossible later ex pl oitat ion. 

'it should be emphasized that froa-thehypnotistfs point of 
view the entire o peration -^/as c arri e d ou t under the most difficult 
conditions . — He" had no previous _contact with silb ject^ hence, no 
initial rapport existjd^^ no background, kno\rledge_of__subj.^^ —

Despite the difficultie s under which he wo rked, I-ir. was 

able to* deffiGastrate-sediuja-traace-phenoaena (juita satisfactorily — 

With respect to techniques used by- ^rT: in suggestibility 
testing and hypnostsy the' methods are essentially as follcrt^s; A 
constant^speed- black on, white spiral color'Whesl vas used for 
visual ffyation along with verbal' su atesti on in initial testing. . 
With these subjects demonstrating susceptibility, suggestions were 
made that future trance induction would be accoctpllshed on verbal 
coaaiknd to sleep. In^later Inter'/icws verbal stiggestlons and com- 
mands were given with a background . of metronome beats.
